What is it Kubrick wants to learn?

How to use a pc for screenwriting?

It sounds more advanced. Did he want to learn to program for fun? Or did he have some projects in mind?

He was a general tech enthusiast. There is another video where he talks about wanting a 32-bit computer called a Fortune, which runs Unix - this being in 1983.

From this video, I gather that he’s interested in Lotus 1-2-3 for tracking budget and DOS generally for a host of possibilities, probably screenwriting among them.
